Holy Week Observance; Tuesday, "Teaching in the Temple"

Three days before Passover: Jesus teaches in the temple

and the Mount of Olives ("Olivet Discourses"), sharing

truths, warning against hypocrisy, and prophesying future

events like The Second Coming: Joseph Smith Matthew,

Mark 13; Luke 21:5-38, and parables of the Ten Virgins:

Matthew 25:1-13, The Talents: Matthew 25:14-30, The

Sheep and Goats: Matthew 25:31-46 or the story of The

Widow's Mite: Mark 12:38-44; Luke 21:1-4. Jesus has a deep

knowledge and love of the scriptures. For those who listen,

prophecies, hundreds of years old, become powerful and

new. The word of God doesn't have an expiration date. No

matter our era, we can find peace in the powerful

parallels between the scriptures and our lives.

The priests plotted to kill Jesus. Judas Iscariot agrees to

turn Jesus over in exchange for 30 silver coins.

Why do you think he chose to teach these,

and how can they benefit you today?

Mark 12:1-44; Alma 12:9-11
